Is anyone in the know about selling properties as I think I've been really stupid and missed out on a pile of cash that I could use to mod the Sup.
My flat went on the market for offers over £44000 on wednesday. Since then I've had about 6 viewings. The fourth ones seemed really keen as they'd like to convert it back to a shop for their business. They asked how much I'd be looking for to take it off the market, I said around £50000. They seemed ok with that and said they might get back in touch but they'd have to think about it. Seemed positive but I wasn't getting my hopes up.
Then todays couple came along and didn't seem to like it that much, picked the faults then went away. They then came back and said they'd offer £50,000 subject to survey if I'd take it off the market. I thought to myself bloody hell thats good and it'll get me moving sharpish. Stupidly shook the guys hand on it and said yes.
Three hours later the fourth couple came back and said they wanted to make an offer. I told them what had happened and that I wasn't sure where I stand on it. They offered £53,000 and said they'd put the offer in first thing on Monday morning.
Where do i stand now? can I take the higher offer or do I have to uphold the first? I know in England I'd be ok to go with the second but how does it work in Scotland. Am I bound to my stupidity?
Cheers
Dave
